API Picker

The API picker lists the most common things you may want to do on a map or
with location-based data, and suggests the API that best suits your needs.
For details about each API, follow the links to the related documentation.

What do you want to do?

Useful APIs:

Add a map to an Android app.
Optionally support map gestures for tilt, rotate, zoom and pan, with
full control over the map's 3D camera.

Open the Google Maps app on iOS, Android, or
web, via a URL. This is a handy way to launch Google Maps
from an app, an email message, or a web page. For example, launch
the Maps app with a directions request, to give your users access to
turn-by-turn navigation.

Use vector-based images to add predefined
and custom shapes to markers and polylines on a map, using SVG path
notation. Examples of such shapes are arrows, dashed lines, custom
paths and symbols animated along a path.

Display a fixed image of a map, and
optionally add markers, polygons, rectangles, polylines, circles and
customized styling. This is useful, for example, if you don't need an
interactive map and want to optimize performance and size.
